NEW YORK - Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and Gotham FC today announced a limited $15 ticket offer for The Queens Classic, the reigning National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) champion's marquee match against the Washington Spirit at Citi Field next Wednesday at 8 p.m.
Up to 4,000 tickets will be available at the discounted price, making one of the biggest matches in women's soccer accessible to New Yorkers. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Gotham FC has already sold more than 34,000 tickets to The Queens Classic, putting the match on pace to break a new attendance record for a women's sporting event in New York City.
"The biggest events in our city should be affordable to the people who make this city run," said Mayor Mamdani. "Whether it's the World Cup, a championship celebration or The Queens Classic, our goal is the same: Make sure working New Yorkers have a chance to be there. This ticket offer will help thousands more fans cheer on one of the best clubs in the world as Gotham FC makes history."
"Gotham FC is proud to partner with Mayor Mamdani's office on an initiative that opens the doors to one of the biggest nights in our club's history," said Mark Zarthar, president of Gotham FC. "The Queens Classic is about more than one match. It is about bringing New Yorkers together, growing the women's game and creating a moment that reflects the energy, ambition and diversity of this city."
The ticket offer comes one day after Mayor Mamdani, Gotham FC and New York City FC announced that Gotham will make Etihad Park in Queens its permanent home beginning in 2028. The move will bring one of the world's premier women's soccer clubs to New York City's first soccer-specific stadium and establish a permanent home for professional women's soccer in the five boroughs.
The Queens Classic will feature Gotham FC against the Washington Spirit, led by U.S. Women's National Team star Trinity Rodman, during the week of the FIFA World Cup final, as New York celebrates a historic summer for the world's game.
